Rhode Island has two pari-mutuel facilities that feature video lottery terminals. These machines are the same as regular video gaming devices but are called lottery terminals because they are regulated by the state’s lottery commission which receives a share of each machine’s revenue. The machines accept cash but do not pay out in cash; instead, they print out a receipt which must be taken to a cashier.
All video lottery terminals are programmed to play at least six different games: blackjack, keno, slots, and three versions of poker: jacks or better, joker poker, and deuces wild. The minimum gambling age in Rhode Island is 18.
For information on Rhode Island call the state’s Tourism Division on (800) 556-2484.
